What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with no reported injuries or illnesses. Sterilization assurance failure on labor and delivery equipment represents a confirmed risk of harm in a critical clinical setting. Per the rubric, a risk-of-harm medical device without reported injury justifies High severity.
